A beloved Isekai parody

The series is based on the light novel series by Natsume Akatsuki and follows Kazuma Satou, a 17-year-old shut-in who is sent to a fantasy world with MMORPG elements after his death, where he forms a dysfunctional adventuring party.

The anime’s first season premiered in January 2016 and became a hit with fans for its satire of the Isekai genre and self-aware humour. In 2019, the anime won the Isekai Series of the Decade in Funimation's Decade of Anime poll.
